So... there was this other video tutorial I saw on the side bar... had to do with enlargements of sorts. Figured I'd give it a shot on one of Sylon's previous contest pics. Let's just say... it's an interesting result.

I took the raw and put through photomatix - Played with the settings till I got something I liked (making sure not to get the dreaded hdr halos etc)

Thanks for the explanation. Did you actually use exposure bracketing when you took the photo and import those images into Photomatix? Or did you pretty much just take that single raw image and create the appropriate multiple exposure images for Photomatix? Or did you do something else?
